SAFETY FEATURES
POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the
outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not attempt to remove the outer
cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized service
personnel.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or
counter, or touch with hot surfaces.
• Keep hands and utensils out of container while
blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to
persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may
be used but must be used only when the blender is
not running.

do not play with the appliance.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
b) Extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
c) If an extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord; and
3) The cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact
the warranty department listed in these instructions.
